KV1S Turret 28mm for Warlord/Italeri kit

thingiverse

This is specifically designed for the 28mm (1/56th) scale Warlord/Ilateri KV1 tank kit. Fans of the Bolt Action gaming system will find this particularly interesting. The standard KV costs a whopping 350 points. A notable variation, the KV1S, used during the mid-war period, was lightened for increased speed, earning it the "S" designation. In-game, this model sacrifices its 10+ all-around armor but gains speed and drops significantly in cost - a mere 280 points for a regular tank boasting 10+ frontal armor, a medium AT gun with 2-inch HE, and three MMGs. I started by modifying Bergman's file to upscale the turret. The main gun barrel was reworked for added robustness, and a turret pivot was incorporated to fit the Warlord model seamlessly. The fit is impressively snug, ensuring it won't fall out if held upside down but still slides on effortlessly. This could be due to my print settings, so results may vary. Two versions were created: one with the rear turret MMG ready for printing and another with a void where the rear MMG would normally sit, allowing users to experiment with alternative methods of representation. As always, proceed with caution when removing print supports.
